Ingredients

• 8 cups Cinnamon raisin bread
• 4 Eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Golden raisins
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.75 cup Dark brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Spread the cinnamon raisin bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt, and melted butter.

Step 4

Gently fold in the golden raisins and orange zest into the custard mixture.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down lightly to ensure the bread absorbs the liquid.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature to soak.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly while you prepare the orange butterscotch sauce.

Step 9

To make the sauce, combine the dark brown sugar, orange juice, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the butter melts.

Step 10

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 11

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 12

Serve the warm bread pudding drizzled generously with the orange butterscotch sauce.
